Man Who Planted Trees avi

The Man Who Planted Trees (French title L'homme qui plantait des arbres), also known as The Story of Elzéard Bouffier, an allegorical tale by French author Jean Giono, published in 1953.



It tells the story of one shepherd's effort to re-forest a desolate valley in the foothills of the Alps durring the first half of the 20th century.



The tale is quite short—only about 1/2 an hour in length.
